Yes you can. I have had multiple customers do this throughout the years, and I myself also have this setup for monitoring 2 separate networks. What is important to setup and configure is the routing aspect from the OS side. I have found an article to cover routing for the Windows OS that I have used when I set mine up.…

You will only be able to monitor a Node with a Single IP Address. You could monitor the Node via the Hostname provided that the DNS Server updates the IP Address accordingly. Our "Head Geek" covers monitoring the device in our Solarwinds Certified Professional (SCP) video series here.

DD-WRT Firmware does not support the ieee802dot11 MIB to be able to display Wireless information. You will still be able to see CPU, Memory, Interfaces and you can also use the rFlow option to send NetFlow to the Solarwinds Server. There is an existing bug in the rflow on the device that has existed for several years where…

The up-time is determined during the statistic polling cycle of the Node, which by default is every 10 minutes. You can change how often you poll devices by going into Settings> Manage Nodes, edit the device(s) and under Node Statistics collection you can change the polling to as fast as 1 minute. Be aware that making this…

The file will run under the Account that the Solarwinds Alerting Engine is tied to. You will need to change the account to the account that you are logged in as to see the window. 1. Go into Services.msc 2. Select the Service you want to modify, in this case the Solarwinds Alerting Service 3. Right click and select…

From the guide it looks to be estimated at 1000 nodes per hour for scan time so that comes out to like 2 years to map 16mil address. Is that right? Yes, because with a subnet broken into /8, the scan is assuming that you want to scan every ip in the /8 subnet, all 16,777,214 individual IP addresses. Unless your network is…

Traps and Syslog monitoring is optional. Configuring Traps on the device will not extend any additional polling to the device. Traps are used for Out of Band Polling for when you need to know about a Device Status change. Traps works best for when you need to know about a change right now and work best for when there is a…

NetPath follows rules similar to Traceroute. These Detection Prevention options are designed to obscure network replies. Traceroute uses TTL increment increase as notification that a layer 3 exists. From How Trace Route Works: TTLs Trace Route works by setting the TTL for a packet to 1, sending it towards the requested…

Severity field for the Alerts in the database. SQL: SELECT Severity FROM AlertConfigurations SWQL: SELECT Severity FROM Orion.AlertConfigurations

The amount of UnDP Pollers do not influence the amount of Elements being Listed.to get a number of how manu UnDPs you have you can run the Following SQL Query: Select Count(*) from CustomPollerAssignment Elements is a Total of Nodes + Interfaces + Volumes. This is the number we look at when suggesting that you add an…

We have built in logic where our software will state that the same IP address is already being managed. You would have to have different IPs for each system. You can use multiple NICs, I do this already, so you could in create a Management VLAN with management IPs for the systems that are the duplicate IPs. Only the IP…

Trap and Syslog Rule actions cannot be tested, the exact messages will need to come from the device, or a message generator to test the Rules. There is a Trap Editor and Sender that could work out of the Engineer's Toolset. Syslog is a little bit easier as we have Kiwi Syslog Generator.

Re-run the installation, but select Advanced instead of Express. You will need to manually install Microsoft SQL (SQL Express is a free license, and install documentation and video are readily available), or utilize a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 r2 or higher in your environment to connect to to create the database. The…

I created a Report that you can open in Report Writer that can assist in determining which fields the Poller information is located. The link will also cover how to setup your Alert Triggers for UnDPs. All Current Node UnDPs and the Nodes Assigned

If you are on a Windows 2008 system, can you temporarily disable the Windows Firewall and test to see if you are able to get the message back? Wireshark and other sniffer traces will show the incoming packets prior to the Firewall rules being applied.

Try to add the device IP in the Network Discovery if you want to use WMI. You can also utilize the Solarwinds Agent, which also uses WMI calls to obtain the information.

Setup SMTP Authentication with your Domain Credentials and see if the Test and Report Passes.

You will need to configure your systems to send Syslog messages to the Orion Server on port 514. Once Syslog is configured on your Systems, the Syslog messages will be viewable in the Syslog Viewer application on the Orion Server, and on the Orion Website in the Syslog and Message Center pages. You can create a Scheduled…

You will need create a poller for each separate OID. Once all of the Pollers are created, multiple pollers can be assigned in the web console under Settings> Manage Nodes, then select the devices and select Assign Pollers.

Under Trigger Conditions, set the Type of Property to monitor to Virtual Machine, then Delete all Existing Conditions. Here is how you will need to setup your Alerts VM down Alert: Add the Property Virtual Machine State is equal to Down, and the Reset when the condition is no longer True You will need to add the Virtual…

You will need to if you have either a two-way Security Trust Relationship set at the Active Directory Server, or you will need to configure the same User Name and Password on both domains connect from 1 AD Network to another AD Network (Workgroup authentication). The issue with your scenario here is that the Solarwinds…

You can already do that today with the Universal Device Poller. Since Vendors Vary the MIB and OIDs for the Serial Numbers, you will need to check the vendor for the MIB/OID.

The error is saying that the system did not have enough available RAM left to continue running the service. I would recommend to increase the available RAM by 2GB to handle the load of the Services. The Data Processor service is responsible to sending the polling and statistics information from MSMQ over to the SQL Server.

We do not list specific AIX version support as all AIX systems should have SNMP capabilities. Most users leverage NET-SNMP for AIX rather than IBM's proprietary SNMP daemon. That is because IBM's SNMP implementation does not conform in many instances to the SNMP standard. This simply means that there are some features like…

Change the Request to a Get, then Get Next, then Get Table.

As mentioned, make sure that "Asset Inventory" in List Resources is selected under each Node. If you did Network Discovery and imported the device, it should have it selected already. If it is missing, double check to make sure its selected. This report is the report that has this information. Documentation to implement is…

The suppression SQL Query will make the Alert not trigger or reset until the Suppression Query returns 0 Rows. You will need to put the SysobjectOID in a Where Clause in the Trigger Conditions tab and in the Reset Tab if you have a separate query.

I can go ahead and throw my hat in on this one. I have been running DD-WRT on my Routers since 2007 for NetFlow and SNMP access. I have looked through DD-WRTs Forum site and there is no function to perform TFTP to or from the device to CatTools unless I am missing something. I thought there would be TFTP since it saves the…

Please go into the UnDP Application, and Edit the Poller. Click on Show Advanced Options, and make sure that the MIB Value Type is selected to Raw Value. Next change format to Enumeration, and select Map Values. Enter in the possible value under Raw Value and have the friendly name under Text Value. A Raw Value and its…

Please See the Following KB to incorporate a Custom HTML Resource onto your site. http://knowledgebase.solarwinds.com/kb/questions/1386/Integrating+Multiple+Graphs+into+1+View It may be possible to get the IP Address to pass to the other URL, but I have not tested this. Please try the Variable ${IP_Address}
